The value of line AL is 21. 51cm

<h3>How to determine the length</h3>

To find line AL,

Using

Sin α = opposite/ hypotenuse to find line AB

Sin 90 = x/ 24

1 = x/24

Cross multiply

x = 24cm

Now, let's find line AC

Sin angle B = line AC/24

Note that to find angle B

angle A + angle B + angle C = 180

But angle B = 2 Angle A

x + 2x + 90 = 180

3x + 90 = 180

3x = 180-90

x = 30°

Angle B = 2 × 30 = 60°

Sin 60 = x/ 24

0. 8660 = x/24

Cross multiply

x = 24 × 0. 8660

x = 20. 78cm

We have the angle of A in the given triangle to be divide into two by the bisector, angle A = 15°

To find line AL, we use

Cos = adjacent/ line AL

Cos 15 = 20. 78/ line AL

Line AL = 20. 78/ cos 15

Line AL = 20. 78 / 0. 9659

Line AL = 21. 51 cm

Thus, the value of line AL is 21. 51cm

A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream. After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after firs

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream.

After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after first leaving N, he was brought back to N by the current.

Knowing that the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hour

To find : The speed of the river’s current.

Solution :

Let the speed of current = x km/h

Speed of boat = 9 km/h

Thus, the speed in upstream = (9 - x) km/h

Also, the speed in downstream = x km/h (because the boat is stationary in downstream)

Total distance = 6 km ( from N to the point he reached )

Total time = 2 hours 40 minutes

$\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=2\frac{40}{60}=2 \frac{2}{3} \\\\\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=\frac{8}{3} \text{ hours}$

We know, $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

According to the question,

$\frac{6}{9-x}+\frac{6}{x}=\frac{8}{3}$

Taking LCM and 6 common

$6[\frac{x+9-x}{(9-x)x}]=\frac{8}{3}$

Take 6 to another side,

$\frac{9}{9x-x^2}=\frac{8}{3\times 6}$

Cross multiply,

$9\times 18=8\times(9x-x^2)$

$162=72x-8x^2$

Taking 4 common and cancel out

$4x^2-36x+81=0$

Solve quadratic equation by middle term split,

$4x^2-18x-18x+81=0$

$2x(2x-9)-9(2x-9)=0$

$(2x-9)(2x-9)=0$

$\Rightarrow 2x-9=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$

Therefore, The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

Robin noticed her water bottle was 3 full and Freddy's was full. Robin said, "My full bottle has more water than your full bottl

lozanna [386]

One of the bottles has a greater total volume than the other. for example, if one bottle is 20 ounces and the other is 100 ounces, when the 100 ounce bottle is 3/4 full there are 75 ounces of fluid inside which is more than the total amount of fluid in the full 20 ounce bottle.

What is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y=(4/9)x-2 that passes through the point (4,3)?

Hoochie [10]

<span>y=(4/9)x-2
This is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b), where m is the slope.
A perpendicular line will have the opposite reciprocal of the slope.
So if the slope here is 4/9, then the perpendicular line's slope will be -9/4.

Now that you have the slope (-9/4) and a point (4, 3), you can use the point-slope formula to find the equation.
y - y</span>₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 3 = (-9/4)(x - 4)
y - 3 = (-9/4)x + 9
y = (-9/4)x + 12

So the answer will be:
C. <span>y= -(9/4)x+12</span>

Which pair of triangles can be proven by the HL theorem

natulia [17]

Also known as the hypotenuse leg theorem. It states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.' This is kind of like the SAS, or side-angle-side postulate. Congruent triangles.

The constant in the expression 8x 3 + 4x 2 – 9 is

Ket [755]

Answer : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 9 because a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number.
